Bokkoms
Bokkoms (or Bokkems) is whole, salted and dried mullet (more specifically the Southern mullet, ''Liza richardsonii'', a type of fish commonly known in the Western Cape of South Africa as "harders"),〔HAT – Verklarende Handwoordeboek van die Afrikaanse Taal, 5de Uitgawe, FF Odendal & RH Gouws (redakteurs), Pearson Education South Africa, Maskew Miller Longman, 2005, p 112〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Southern mullet – Exhibition – Two Oceans Aquarium Cape Town, South Africa )〕 and is a well-known delicacy from the West Coast region of South Africa. This salted fish is dried in the sun and wind and is eaten after peeling off the skin. In some cases it is also smoked. It is sometimes referred to as "fish biltong".
The word ''bokkom'' comes from the Dutch word ''bokkem'', which is a variant of the word ''bokking'' (or ''buckinc'' in Middle Dutch).〔Etimologiewoordeboek van Afrikaans, Buro van die Woordeboek van die Afrikaanse Taal, Editor: GJ van Wyk, 2003〕 The word ''bokking'' is derived from the word ''bok'' (the Dutch word for ''buck'' or ''goat''), and refers to the fact that bokkoms reminds of goat, because bokkoms has the same shape as the horns of a goat, it is just as hard as a goat's horns, and it stinks just as much as the horn of a goat (goats have scent glands behind their horns which causes the smell).〔 The first official record of the use of the word in the Afrikaans language of South Africa was in the ''Patriotwoordeboek'' in 1902 in the form ''bokkom''.
== Origin ==
As early as 1658, only six years after the first permanent settlement of Europeans at the Cape of Good Hope, four free burghers were given permission to settle in Saldanha Bay on the West Coast of Southern Africa. They were given the right from the Dutch East Indian Company to fish the waters of Saldanha Bay and send their catches to the Company's trading post at the Cape of Good Hope to be sold to other burghers as well as to passing ships in Table Bay. They had sole rights to the lucrative fishing until 1711. One fifth of the catch had to be delivered in salted and dried form, which was the origins of bokkoms in South Africa.〔()〕〔()〕
